Terms Used In Oregon Statutes > Chapter 759 > Rate Regulation and Procedures; Measuring Equipment

  • Amortization: Paying off a loan by regular installments.
  • City: includes any incorporated village or town. See Oregon Statutes 174.100
  • Competitive telecommunications provider: means a telecommunications services provider that has been classified as a competitive telecommunications provider by the Public Utility Commission pursuant to ORS § 759. See Oregon Statutes 759.005
  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Fixed Rate: Having a "fixed" rate means that the APR doesn't change based on fluctuations of some external rate (such as the "Prime Rate"). In other words, a fixed rate is a rate that is not a variable rate. A fixed APR can change over time, in several circumstances:
    • You are late making a payment or commit some other default, triggering an increase to a penalty rate
    • The bank changes the terms of your account and you do not reject the change.
    • The rate expires (if the rate was fixed for only a certain period of time).
  • Intrastate telecommunications service: means any telecommunications service in which the information transmitted originates and terminates within the boundaries of the State of Oregon. See Oregon Statutes 759.005
